Hello, I am in the middle of a project where I have to setup a couple of load balancers to allow load balancing traffic to some web app servers and to provide an easy way to swap out some other resources. I have spent a lot of time researching options and I settled on HAProxy with Keepalived to make it fault tolerant.
I have read through the HAProxy configuration options page as best I could and I have the basic setup of HAProxy for a web server. I also setup the stats option on the server. Do you have any tips or resources on what best practices are for the haproxy.cfg file? Most options I find are basic with the front and back end setup, the binding IP, the server list, and the method used for load balancing. Is there anything else I should add to that basic configuration? Is there an easy way to tell what the connection counts should be? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
